I took my Mom away for a "girls" weekend in Southold and stayed at Acorn for one of the two nights I was in town. The rooms were immaculate, the breakfast was healthy and delicious, and Mary Ann has an encyclopedic knowledge of all the local attractions and events. Mary Ann and her husband go out of their way to assist their guests in itinerary planning. I will definitely go back!

The house itself is nothing fancy, although some of the rooms are (I stayed in the cheapest room "Woodland Hideaway, but they make the most out of what they have. The proprietors are extremely nice and helpful, full of recommendations and suggestions and will help you with your plans. The house and room was absolutely immaculate! Breakfast and afternoon snack were great - although I would have liked better coffee.

The North Fork is expensive, so given this, this B&B is a decent value, although might not be as fancy as others in the area.

Just a note too - the Woodland Hideaway has a privtate, but adjacent bath (next to your room), not a big deal, but just an FYI.

We traveled to the North Fork for a wedding and fortunately for us, the hotel that all of the relatives were staying had been booked months ago. I found the Acorn Hollow on the Internet and made our reservation! Robert and Mary Ann are fantastic hosts. Their home is beautiful and they truly do, "think of everything" to make your stay wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and it was so nice to have our hosts sit down with us at the table and tell us about the area. Robert even gave us "shortcut" directions to the wedding ceremony that saved us a ton of time. These are folks who know what it means to be in the hospitality business. Simply lovely, like staying with old friends. We stayed in the "By the Sea" Room, which I think is the largest of their three rooms. Incredible bathroom with whirlpool tub....heaven. Big King size bed with one of the most comfortable mattresses. Pure relaxation. If you are going to the North Fork and you enjoy staying at a B & B. This is the one for you!

Mary Ann and Robert were the most gracious and kindest hosts ever! They put care and time into making our weekend getaway perfect, from the hot chocolate and cream puffs that awaited us when we arrived, to Mary Ann's scrumptious breakfasts (including baked plums, poached pears, bacon and onion quiche, etc., all while making sure to accomodate our dietary needs), making our dinner reservations, recommending various wineries and places to visit, patiently helping my boyfriend set up the wireless network in his computer, and making us feel at home and pampered all weekend long.. Our room was gorgeous and well cared for, and extremely CLEAN! The floorboards were a little creaky when we walked, but other than that, the room was perfect. The bed was one of the most comfortable bed we've slept in, and the electric fireplace made the room all the more cozy. The attention to details really made us feel special, and we can't wait to come back!
